Andi Smart Print Solutions and Blueprint Visuals join Prestige Visuals
Andi Smart Print Solutions and Blueprint Visuals join Prestige Visuals, the print and signage platform of the Dutch SME Participation Company (NLMP). The sale of a majority stake connects the succession of Frits Keulen and Dave Kremer with the further growth of both companies.
After nearly twenty years of entrepreneurship, Frits Keulen sought a suitable succession and a solid foundation for the future with his retirement in mind. Within Prestige Visuals, the companies are given the space to broaden their services and continue to grow together with the other group companies. Match Plan guided the shareholders through the sale and provided support with the financing of the transaction.
Additional expertise in print and visual communication
Andi Smart Print Solutions is based at Maastricht-Airport and has a history dating back nearly a hundred years. The company, led by shareholders Frits Keulen and Dave Kremer, supplies digital and offset printing, packaging, and personalized print solutions, among other things. In addition, Andi possesses specialist expertise within the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.
Blueprint Visuals specializes in signage, visual communication, and large-format printing. The company provides services including façade advertising, wayfinding, vehicle lettering, and interior applications, from concept and material selection to production and installation.
Moving forward together within Prestige Visuals
With this merger, Andi Smart Print Solutions and Blueprint Visuals become part of the Prestige Visuals platform. The combination offers customers a broader range of services and creates opportunities for joint purchasing, knowledge sharing, and more efficient utilization of production capacity.
The ambition is to further strengthen the position in the Benelux and capitalize on international growth opportunities. NLMP supports this development through its buy-and-build strategy. This new phase also marks the next step for Alexander Ummels: he is advancing from Managing Director to CEO.
Connecting succession and growth
During the sales process, both the wishes of the shareholders and the future plans of the companies were central. The transaction links the question of succession with the ambition to continue growing within a larger group.
“Central to this transaction was how the ambitions of Frits and Dave and the further development of the companies they built together could best come together. Joining Prestige Visuals offers opportunities to further build on their strengths and offer clients a broader range of services. We are proud to have guided both shareholders through this step.”, says Leon Koorevaar, Partner at Match Plan.
Guidance through Match Plan
Match Plan guided Frits Keulen and Dave Kremer throughout the sales process, from preparation and negotiations to the completion of the transaction. In addition, the financing team assisted in meeting the financing needs surrounding the transaction.
The sales team consisted of Leon Koorevaar, Yvo Bruin, and Floris Stevelmans. Arnaud Mesuere and Daan Legro were involved from the financing team. For legal guidance, they collaborated with Janou Briaire and Reijn Bressers of Boels Zanders.
